2017 was an eventful year for the Disney theme parks in
California and Florida a lot of exciting news was revealed at the d23 Expo in July of 2017
Giving us a look into what we can expect at the parks in the next four years in
2017 we also lost two classic Disney attractions the great movie ride at Disney's Hollywood Studios
And Ellen's energy adventure at Epcot both were closed to make way for
Future new additions to the parks you can check out our video talking about the top ten
d23 announcements to see what new additions you can expect at Walt Disney World's in the future now in November of
2017 it was also announced that Star Wars
Galaxies edge would be home to the land of Batou and Star Tours at Disney's Hollywood Studios and Disneyland both
Incorporated Batou into the ending of their rides aside from theme park announcements and closures
We definitely saw many additions to the ride
attraction and show lineups across a lot of the business in parks at both resorts so as
2017 comes to a close today, we're gonna be counting down the top 10 new Disney rides and attractions
added to Disneyland and Disney World's in
2017
number 10
rivers of light
We're gonna start our list off at Walt Disney World in Florida as part of animal kingdom's initiative to build up its nighttime offerings
rivers of light opened on February 17th
2017 after almost a year of delays it was originally set to open on April 22nd 2016
But the show faced many unexpected obstacles and wasn't ready
So it was very exciting to finally get this new nighttime show opened in
2017 the show celebrates the majesty of nature and includes live performers a variety of floating barges
fountains
special effects and animal imagery projected on giant water screens
The show really fits the whole vibe of what animal
Kingdom is all about and is a welcome addition to the Walt Disney World's nighttime entertainment lineup
Number nine the Main Street Electrical Parade
Heading across the coast to Disneyland in California
January 19th
2017 marked the return of the Main Street Electrical Parade back to California from Florida
It had been 21 years since the parade was last seen down Main Street at Disneyland
Now bringing this classic parade back to the park where it originated was the final
Goodbye to a piece of Disney history that had been around for decades
the parade remained the exact same
Including the baroque hoedown theme and aside from the floats needing some general maintenance there were only a few changes made to them the drum
Changed from Disney's electrical parade back to its original Disneyland presents the Main Street Electrical Parade
Also one of the preneur units was omitted due to the float being damaged during the shipment from Florida to California
The parade was supposed to run until June 18th, but due to its popularity
Disney extended it until August 20th 2017 then it glowed away forever in Disney history
number 8 miss adventure Falls
2017 also saw the first new water experience added to Typhoon Lagoon at Walt Disney World since
2005 miss adventure falls first opened on March 12
2017 and is a family raft attraction that takes riders on a fast paced journey passing by
Artifacts from the captain Mary's ship and it also features an audio-animatronic
Duncan is the captain Mary's parrot and diving partner who can be seen as you descend up the lift Hill
It's a nice little added touch that you wouldn't normally see on a water attraction like this
but it's something that's
Distinctly Disney the scenery around the ride is very lush and provides a fun family experience that includes
Open enclosed slide sections as well as waterfalls for riders to cool off on a hot day at Typhoon Lagoon
number 7 rivers of America
Heading back to Disneyland
2017 also brought major changes to rivers of America at the park in
preparation for Star Wars Galaxies edge the back part of the rivers of America had been drained and reshaped
shortening the river to accommodate this new addition well between June and July of
2017 many attractions around the that had been closed since January 2016
Finally reopened with the newly designed portion of the rivers of America
including Tom Sawyer Island the Davy Crockett canoes the Mark Twain riverboat the sailing ship
Columbia and the Disneyland railroad the newly designed back side of the river is called the Columbia Gorge section
Highlighted by five waterfalls and several elevated trestles that the Disneyland railroad passes through
Although the river did get slightly smaller Disney added a lot of new detail into the modified section
there's
Definitely a lot to keep your eyes busy while you Coast on the Mark Twain riverboat or ride along the new tracks of the Disneyland
railroad
number six the Hall of Presidents
just making it in time for
2017 and after an 11 month closure the Hall of Presidents at Magic Kingdom finally reopened on December 19th
2017 here Disney debuted their newest
audio-animatronic of the President and also added a new video
score
Narration and upgraded the overall technology of the show it's no secret that the Magic Kingdom can get really busy and needs all the ride
Capacity it can get so the reopening of the 700 seat Hall of Presidents auditorium
Definitely added some much-needed capacity to the park. It was great getting this classic Disney attraction reopened in
2017 and adding it back to the roster of attractions at Magic Kingdom
number five guardians of the galaxy
mission breakout
2017 also saw some major changes happen at Disney, California Adventure
Tower of Terror closed on January 3rd
2017 and after a very quick four month turnaround it reopened as a brand new attraction on May 27th
2017
guardians of the galaxy mission breakout is the first ride at the American Disney parks to be based off Marvel characters
the original Tower of Terror facade received a complete facelift
transforming the exterior into the collectors fortress
The rides cue was also remodeled to resemble the interior of the collectors archives
And the showrooms said goodbye to rod sterling and now features a rocky raccoon
audio-animatronic
It's still a drop tower dark ride so definitely be prepared to scream
But also be prepared to laugh this time you're part of Rocket Raccoon scheme to free the Guardians
Just as he cuts the power and tries to regain control of the lift
There are six different versions of the ride each with its own song visuals and drop sequence. That's sure to make you scream
Number four happily ever after
2017 brought a lot of brand-new nighttime entertainment to the parks which also included happily ever after
May 12th 2007 marked the debut of this brand-new nighttime fireworks
spectacular which replaced the long-running wishes fireworks show
Happily ever after features more lasers lights and projections than any Disney show has ever seen before
It features a catchy new score with a great theme song along with other songs from Disney hit classics like Moana
frozen Aladdin tangled Hunchback of Notre Dame
Hercules and so many more Disney did a great job incorporating new modern technology
into their classic style of fireworks storytelling happily-ever-after
Has definitely become a hit at Magic Kingdom and is a great way to end your day at the theme park?
Number three
Fantasmic after going dark for your year and a half while Disney drain the rivers of America
fantasmic returned to Disneyland in July of
2017 as a newly updated nighttime spectacular the show saw quite a few changes that included new orchestrations and
Brand-new musical score segments it also saw a lot of new characters
Integrated into the show like aladdin and Jasmine on the magic carpet and Captain Jack Sparrow on the Columbia
Disney also used a lot of newer technology like projection mapping
Lasers and upgraded projectors, there's quite a few differences when you compare it to the original
Fantasmic, but this update was Disney's way of keeping the show fresh and relevant for the new generation of fantasmic fans it
Still has that wow factor throughout the entire show and keeps the disney magic alive in a brand new modern way
Number two
